Rosebank (silent) Gordon & MacPhail Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 15 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Pale straw-gold with a delicate, sunlit glow.

Nose

A bright, floral orchard bouquet of pear and white blossom with lemon zest and honeyed vanilla. Underneath, cask-strength warmth reveals prune and raisin, almond and a trace of cocoa, balanced by soft spice and oak. Subtle waxy texture and a light mineral lift keep the aroma elegant, inviting, and distinctly Rosebank.

Palate

Powerful yet refined at cask strength, the palate unfolds as a lush fusion of honeyed orchard fruits—green apple, pear and white peach—with brioche, vanilla and almond. Sherry depth brings dark raisin and fig, plus cocoa notes, while white pepper and ginger lift the mid-palate. A waxy, mineral spine underpins the sweetness, finishing long, warm and nutty with a lingering fruitiness.

Finish

A long, stately finish that clings with honeyed orchard fruit, floral lift and a spine of spice. Sherry-influenced sweetness threads through oak and vanilla, revealing raisins and almonds, then fading to orange zest and barley sugar. Silky and persistent, it leaves a warm, balsamic glow.
